Where do you stop being a beginner and become a speedcuber?

[StachuK1992]

If you aim to get faster at cubing, YOU ARE A SPEEDCUBER.

 

[enigmahack]

Yeah, even if you're averaging 45 seconds... but you're trying to get faster I'd say you're a speedcuber

 

[Sa967St]

"It doesn't matter whether you average 10 seconds or 10 minutes. If you solve the cube in order to get faster at it, then you are a speedcuber"

I hope I remembered that quote correctly...

I think we can settle this matter with a comprehensive and in depth questionnaire. Please answer all questions or the results will not be valid.

------------------------
**Begin Questionnaire**

Question #1:
When solving a rubik's cube is there a functional stopwatch, computer timer program, clock, wristwatch, computer clock, stackmat, or any other device used to accurately measure time actively being used anywhere within 10 feet of your person, or through a third party observer?

Please answer "yes" or "no".

**End of Questionnaire**
-------------------------

Results: If you answered "yes" to all of the above questions then congratulations! You qualify for the coveted "speedcuber" status.

If you answered "no" to any one of the above questions then I am sorry, but you are not a speedcuber. Please try again at a later time.

Doesn't matter, they all know what they're talking about. Yes, you're a speedcuber! Congrats!

If your timer breaks, and you can still use online sources

 

[Corpsez]

Congrats to finally figuring out you are a speed cuber!

 

[pentrixter]

Wow. Do you also wonder whether you exist or not?

I can't help but think that you already knew that you were speedcuber before you asked the question.

 

[rahulkadukar]

Well I like the definition that has been suggested as it means I am a speedcuber too

 

[panyan]

in my view: timing yourself and trying to improve times, whatever they are, means your a speedcuber

 

[Lalena]

I never would have though I would be a speedcuber since my PB is 1:59 minutes. But yes, I'm trying to ge faster so.....



oh and I would like to concur with pentrixter, smells like fishing for a compliment haha

 

[KubeKid73]

Are you kidding me? 15.71 and you don't think you're a speedcuber? I'm not even consistently sub-60, and I still somewhat consider myself a speedcuber.

Was it **** Van Patten or Kierkegaard who said, "If you label me, you negate me?"

(Sorry I don't know Cantonese).

How fast?

Dear speedcubers, how fast do I need to be to consider myself a speedcubers or compete? I currently only own Rubik's brand 3x3s - which sucks! I average around a minute using f2l and 2 look oll. How should I get faster?

 

[sqAree]

You can consider yourself a speedcuber as soon as you try to improve your times. Compete whenever you want to, competitions are fun! If possible, get a better cube indeed, there are awesome cubes for all price ranges.
How to get faster: Train a lot, learn PLL.
